Aligning Your NextGen Team

An 8-week course designed to help you align your staff around a NextGen strategy.

Aligning Your NextGen Team was created to help NextGen and Family Ministry leaders align their NextGen teams. Think about it for a second. Could a preschool director and a high school pastor be any different? The typical preschool volunteer and junior high small group leader have very different ministry goals. Left alone, a Family Ministry team will naturally drift in every direction. This course will show you how to align your entire team around a compelling and exciting NextGen strategy. You'll find new momentum and energy as a united team all pulling in the same direction. It's easier than you think it is.
